The Delta Air Lines Foundation is investing in the future of aviation, and Middle Georgia State University (MGA) is honored to be part of that vision.
Through a $2.5 million grant to MGA’s School of Aviation, Delta is helping open the skies for Clayton County high school students who aspire to become pilots. Students who meet MGA’s admissions requirements will have the opportunity to apply for competitive scholarships that award up to full tuition, fees, and flying instruction for the four years they are enrolled.
The grant is part of a $16.5 million package of charitable giving that Delta Air Lines and the Delta Air Lines Foundation plan to invest in Clayton County, Ga., over a five-year period. Clayton County is considered a vital pipeline for the airline’s future workforce, partly due to its location near Delta’s headquarters and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport.
